What software suite? This is a portable record player... Sorry, don't understand your question.

The software suite works well, if you are willing to learn how to use it. It does provide all of these functions. It is professional recording software and is available free of charge. In fact, if you know how to set things up your turntable doesn't need the USB function. I've used the same software to convert my cassettes by connecting my TEAC cassette deck to my computer's line in. The software is called Audacity.

It doesn't !! The thing lasted less than two week. A complete waste of money. The motor is a DC motor not an AC...which burnt out through normal use. Also, there were issues with the arm switch...So the record stops playing before the end of the song. Look for something else. A.L.D.

I'm very new to these devices, but I sure like the price for this one. Here's my problem: I'm disabled and the click buttons would be a huge problem for me if they are too stiff and hard for me to click. Also wondering about using it for both music and audiobooks, sounds like audiobooks are problematic, and expensive earbuds might be necessary. Help, anyone? Thanks.

The library's a great suggestion -- thanks! I called both SanDisk and Audible to complain about their mutual incompatibility and was told by both that it was up to SanDisk. Anyway, my lesson from all of this is that I should look into these things more thoroughly before I buy another player (which hopefully won't be any time soon!).

Yes you can with the included software but you have to first save the record music as a audio file then transfer that file to a cd... The software lets you remove the "pops" if you want... If you're interested in improving the sound on you MP3 file they sell better software in the internet... Hope that helps you make a decision

Does not work well. Not sure if it's the software type or the player, but it records ALL background noise as well so make sure it's quiet when you start. Other than that, the software is mediocre. You have to manually stop and start after each song or you'll have in giant mp3 file. It does not split your tracks for you.

yes that's what I use. I'll be honest it took me almost a month to figure out. but once I did I love the software. Don't expect it to cut the tracks in the right spot. I always erase their tracks and put them back in the right spot. I do that by finding track listings on wiki, iTunes, amazon, or a site called discogs and write down the track times. It takes a little work. but I haven't found a software yet that cuts the tracks right automatically granted Ive only tried a few. So if you go for it be patient. I don't ever tinker with any of the effects so not sure how good they are. Like echo and crap like that. I just go for a good clean transfer. It does work good for that. In my opion. I did however buy an old turntable for just listening. One with pitch control and the adjustable counterweight and all that kind of fancy stuff. How bout that for an answer. Peace. Hit me up if you got mo questions. I don't mind talkin about records and record players.

I have no problems with Rhapsody-2-Go with the Fuze (other than my general dislike of the Rhapsody software's tendency to crash). It supports channels and downloaded tracks with no problems.

i don't know if it runs on xp/2. i'm running 8 and it works fine. as far as the music goes. you can add different tracks, one of them can be music and another one can be voice over and you can edit each track individually.

the 2.2 software is an excellent upgrade. i like the superior integration of podcast in the PC software and zune.to the problems with the library above: that was an issue for some (i didn't have any problems by telling the software to rebuild the info during load), to correct afterwards only required the deletion of the zune specific file folder with the information contained and allowing the information to be rebuilt with the new software. instructions can be found in the microsoft zune support, or knowlege base.

Hello Eric. This is quite an old device, amazing I got a follow up. This is only a player as far as I know. I do not recall any software that came with it - though it has been 5 years or so.We use it to play on-hold music via a 256mb (yes 1/4 gb) memory stick. Running constant for many years, never a problem. Been a great device.That being said, there is no reason you cannot create a set of mp3 files yourself on a normal computer and then use this device to play them. So many programs to use for such a purpose.

I've taken material off a cd and transferred it to an mp3. Seems like all the other recording stuff should work.I've mostly used it for word stuff and have found out that the Microsoft Office that comes with it is inadequate...Microsoft office 2003...that won't work with a lot of stuff - like it won't open a lot of newer powerpoint or excel files. So...the low price isn't that good if you factor that you'll most likely have to but the later Microsoft office stuff - because on the Microsoft site they tell you they will not support the 2003 stuff much longer. Buyer Beware

I use WAV. One I record the song and use the Xitel "de-clicker" to get rid of the typical album clicks, I use Audacity to dig the song from my C drive, I then expert it via WAV, and then move it from my C drive to the I Tunes Purchased folder via drag and drop. It's really very easy, and it has saved me a good amount of money that I would have spent buying each song for $1.29 from I Tunes.

I didn't use the software that came with it. I downloaded and use the free program Audacity, which is an excellent program for working with audio files and which works with all versions of Windows. Buy this tape deck because you want USB connectivity, not because of the software that comes with it.

Hey, so I really like finale, it is a really great software. At first it was a little hard getting use to but it is getting easier now, I only really write for the piano so I haven't experimented the other settings, but I believe that it can write songs for guitar, violin, flute. And others, I'm not 100 percent, because I don't use those settings, but it is a great software.

I found many complaints about the included software when I was looking at purchasing this. The alternative I found was to use Audacity as my capture software instead. Has worked great for me so far.

Requires software. Easy to use and it has a nice little click sound as you switch from headphones to speakers.
